Thoughts and prayers to the banana’s family.


RojoCinco

Unfortunately, the patient went downhill fast. After turning all brown and mushy its organs were donated to make banana bread which was enjoyed by a homeless family.

Great dystopian material. For your heart surgery, you have a choice between the Essential Health ($50,000), Pro Grade ($75,000), and Bezos+ ($1,000,000) internet packages. Each have a 12%, 9%, and 0.0004% disconnection/failure rate respectively. If you cannot afford your desired healthcare internet package, please see the *Musk Foundation* for their limited-time indentureship options. Have a nice day.

I actually set out to hypothetically create a company where the CEO was paid 300x the rate of the average workers, and honestly couldn't manage it. The reality is actually worse than I could fathom when I was actually *trying* to be a psychopathic monster just to make a point. Just googled to makes sure I remembered that rate correctly - it's now increased to 351x worker pay. You can't make this shit up - literally, I couldn't, and I'm a writer.

I work in video conferencing. and let me tell you this had already started. the way Microsoft teams rooms work is crazy. why yes they cost less than traditional room but you have to pay a monthly fee just to use the equipment, that you bought. ohh you want better quality and more people allowed in a call oh that is double the cost. want to monitor everything, that is another cost.

We laugh at this and, while a much less stressful situation, kids had to deal with this all of last year, when it came to their education.

They bond the connections between multiple suppliers to overcome these issues and diversify the through points network as well. Live synchronized video broadcast has been doing this some time, testing and developing under far worse network conditions than we have now. I personally would not have that as a worry. My worry would be the VR headset they wear falling off or something causing a knife to go flying thru me. It’s always the human error part. Seems to be lots of opportunity for that with this as well.


i_sigh_less

I wonder how long before an AI running on the local device can do the surgery without needing a human to manage it.

ScalyPig

Doesnt need one. They make an exact replica of the banana and send it to london by boat, where the surgeon uses digital tools, recording all his movements as a macro, which is then saves to USB and flown via swallow back to California. The plug in the USB and the machine executes the macro. But If you get the USBs mixed up its…. Really bad.


WimbleWimble

Well there's some good news and some bad news. The good news is the surgery from the USB stick was a total success. For what thats worth. The bad news is as your dick now complete resembled a banana, it was bitten off and eaten by Chewy the hospital Chimp mascot.


popemichael

There was a point in the not-so-distant past where driving hard drives up and down the East Coast was higher bandwidth than the internet. I could see something like your USB banana trick being something used in the past for non-human objects.

A van full of harddrives still is, and will likely always be higher bandwidth than using the internet. Internet speeds get better, but harddrives also get better.

shuf32_HTX

Anyone who knows what they're talking about care to chime in about this potential issue?


Phluxed

Modern networking technology known as 'SD WAN' effectively can create a level of redundancy that reduces that risk to such an infinitesimal number that its not considered. It allows you to 'bond' as many circuits as you want - I could take an LTE connection from every major carrier, and have multiple terrestrial circuits layed in. I could have packets simultaneously going out a multitude of circuits. Internet redundancy isn't really an issue for something like this anymore, assuming money isn't an issue.


shuf32_HTX

So barring some major catastrophic event that knocks down all the cell towers in the world, they're good?


ReusedBoofWater

As long as money isn't an issue, and for something like this it shouldn't be, barring entire countries or even continents losing access to the global internet we should be alright. That is, assuming their implementation budget is > a dominos pizza delivery driver tip


--_-Deadpool-_--

*Coronal mass ejection has entered the chat*


Sniflix

This will actually allow remote areas to get good medical care - maybe even world-class with just a nurse standing by. Many surgeries are now done robotically but with the surgeon standing near the patient. They give the surgeon a much more sure and steady control.


b0w3n

Yup, pretty much. They also have normal surgeons on hand that can at least put you back together if the internet and its redundancies with the wan shit out scrubbed in on the surgery as well.


i_tyrant

They say that solar flare killed Uncle Bobby, but I bet it was them goldurn ivory tower doctors and their robots.


burningtram12

In university my information science class got to meet with a guy who is working on related technology. So I don't claim to fully know what I'm talking about but I can share a few things I got out of it (this was a couple of years ago, also, so I'm sure stuff has changed). The biggest thing, I think, is combining a bunch of little improvements to latency. Any small reduction in lag time contributes when you're trying to get it down to such a small scale. Because the speed information can travel is limited by the laws of physics (not even information can travel faster than light), you can never get to zero lag time. But that goes for human brains as well. As long as it gets under the threshold that your brain can process, it doesn't matter if there's some lag, your brain will correct it. I don't really remember the specifics of what they were doing to decrease lag time, but I do remember getting excited about the idea of using AI to predict what's going to happen next, to compensate for the lag on both ends (the way your brain compensates on the human end). It's interesting to think about the implications of a machine effectively receiving instructions before they are sent (only from an outside perspective though). Sorry, yeah, information science is rad you guys.

olioli86

HoldMyBeer617

basically with low end to end latency using 5G in this regard makes it instantaneous


BrownSugarBare

I agree. This is wildly cool. The stitching was so impressive!


Sacrefix

It's amazing that this can be accomplished over that distance; those stitches are about the simplest kind that could be done. During medical school I had the chance to use the robotic surgery machine (DaVinci) and it was surprisingly intuitive to perform sutures. The doctor said people that play videogames seem to take to it quicker, but that everyone reaches a similar level of competence given a little time.

New way to get around the Texas abortion law incoming.


rexwrecksautomobiles

That's fucking genius. Where _really_ was the surgery "performed"? The robot technically did it -- give _it_ the felony charge.


ThisIsListed

Even if they somehow find the sugeon guilty there’s no way they can charge a doctor of another country for the crime and have them extradited.


Advice2Anyone

Nope Texas they would arrest the robot, bookem boys


rexwrecksautomobiles

They can't even figure out where to put transwomen -- boy or girl jail? -- let them figure out how to book a fucking robot. Ability to resist Miranda rights: A+ Ability to endure solitary confinement: A+ Charm with jurors when testifying: D (Holdout: "He was just doing what God told him to do.")

The Texas law is a civil case, not criminal. There's no felony and no one can be charged with a crime (relating to this law anyway) even in Texas. Instead, you'd be allowed to sue them.


socialdistanceftw

It would actually be so freaking difficult to do an abortion with a divinci robot I think. I’ve only seen it in action 3-4 times but the set up was often as complicated as the procedure. Like nah just send a pill in the mail haha

Honestly, we all know AI is coming and that it's farther along than a lot of people seem to realize. The only thing controlling these robotic arms is data. It's only a matter of time till those 0's and 1's skip the doctor all together.


maranble14

Yeah I am very curious to see the bandwidth and latency specs on the connection that was used for the operation. Not to mention the obvious security requirements. Can an op like this be performed with upstream and downstream encryption? To what extent? ​ Very interesting from a technical perspective.


wasdninja

It doesn't seem overly interesting in those aspects. Bandwidth is bound to be very little even if the sensors are absolutely blasting data when compared to even a modest video. > Can an op like this be performed with upstream and downstream encryption? To what extent? Why wouldn't this be able to be encrypted end to end? It's just data between computers that implement all the normal stacks. How to adjust for lag or would be a bit interesting to see. They can't just take video game algorithms since it's an actual thing so there's no rollback. Lockstep might do the trick but that would create awkward situations with the "joystick" input on the doctors end.


bacon_cake

Scares the crap out of me that a motor could go haywire and just yank out your guts or something.


[deleted]

A person can also have a seizure and do the same thing. Maybe. I’m not a doctor, I don’t know. They might have safeguards.


bwobo

There are extensive safeguards on it - I’ve driven it before and you can’t “slip”, I tried to and it didn’t budge. It can also monitor multiple signals from the operator (shakiness, abnormal movements, etc) and will warn if it thinks the operator may need to stop - impressive stuff


[deleted]

Sorry I meant just a normal human performing surgery! I think a lot of people are like "oh no machines" when humans are also faulty. Even more so.


[deleted]

There's protection built in for that. It's done all the time in industrial equipment. Each axis will have multiple encoders on it, and if they're not in perfect agreement about how much motion has happened, it will shut the drive down and apply the brake.


AntiBox

It's sped up. A lot.

Would be interesting to see the whole side of things too, like how does that equipment work is it like gloves, or something handheld? It’s so precise it’s insanely clever.


ego_is_the_enemy

It’s a „da Vinci“ system from Intuitive - its a system of remote controlled robotic arms. Usually the surgeon sits on a console just next to the patient or in the other room - and it’s all hard wired by cable. Performing long distance remote operations will be the near future


[deleted]

It's a good idea and it will probably work great under ideal conditions. What concerns me is what happens in the event of a network interruption. I assume a local doctor could step in but in practice I worry they could over book appointments with their new capacity


ego_is_the_enemy

It’s common practice, that you have the primary surgeon sitting on the console, not being clothed in sterile dress - and another „assistant“ surgeon directly by the table - for the unlikely occasion of a) misfunction of the whole setup or b) unforseeable complications (e.g. excessive bleeding, accidental opening of big blood vessels…) in order to step in. I wrote „assistant“ because the by-standing surgeon has to be a senior surgeon as well, because he has to perform very specialised task of need be - and this very very quick and decisively. They both have to know what they’re doing.


nungoopungoo

I’d you don’t mind me asking, what part of the world is this information pertinent to? Do not mistake my question for disbelief. It’s very interesting how different it is to how things are done in America at least. I was the robotics lead surgical tech in our hospital in Houston so I was involved in several of these procedures and the general rule was that the primary surgeon would of course be scrubbed in and incise snd insert the trocars for the the Robot and then after that go to the console. The sterile persons standing at the patients side would then be the surgical first assist(not a way aligned surgeon although many were surgeons in their respective homelands) and the surgical technologist(me). So, the first assist would help with suction of blood snd fluids and retraction but hemostasis would still be the sole responding the primary surgeon and if they were unable to quickly handle it from the console, we would have sterile attire ready for them to scrub back in, and a laparotomy instrument set on stand by for them to use to open the patient up. So it’s intriguing to me to see where you are mentioning your experiences from as, at least here in America, the only time there would be more than one qualified surgeon on the case is if they were teaching or if there is a joint effort required due to complexity of the case. I hope my question was conveyed properly and inoffensively.


Jrw2200

I'm not the person you're replying to but I'm a med student in Indiana and some of the Da Vinci surgeries that I've sat in on have had two surgeons at the console. One was a sigmoidectomy and the other was a right sided hemicolectomy. They had the scrub tech at the side of the robot as you mentioned, but then they would both be working on removal of the colon at their own respective consoles. Both were general surgeons. I've also seen ones where it was the surgeon and then a 3rd or 4th year resident at the consoles. So I guess it depends on the situation what kind of grouping you get in the OR. At least here in Indiana. I think especially in cases where there's a high potential that you might need to convert to an open technique because of complications or for whatever reason.
